To http://littlebirdiebakery.wordpress.com/

Thanks to My good friend at the160acrewoods.com I have moved to a new site! It is not completely finished yet, but the basics, and plenty of pictures are up and I'd love for you to stop by!
I will be running the new site a little differently, posting tips and ideas for weddings and parties, as well as monthly giveaways, so be sure to come visit!

Busy weekend!

Well, this weekend was packed! Apparently Friday was a popular day to get married because it was 8/8/2008... so, i had 3 cakes Friday, and one Saturday. The three cakes Friday were all rentals, customized to each wedding theme, with a real bottom tier for cutting and serving. Here they are:

Congrats Pam and Gary, Krystle and Nathan, Jaime and Curtis!

Then Saturday was another wedding, nice and simple, but really pretty! I loved how they decorated the hall....

Pink and white wedding cake

This cake was 4 tiers of caramel cake, with the top tier being fake. It was really fun to make this one, because i tried out some techniques i hadn't done before, and also because pink is my favorite colour!

Congrats Terin and Riley!

Cupcake Fun!

Just some fun pictures of my cousins decoraing some cupcakes. I am in edmonton for a wedding this weekend and enjoyed playing with my work for a change once the cake was finished!

You're a couple of cuties Q and J!

Pricing

Pricing for tiered cakes runs from $1.25-1.75 per serving but generally, it falls into $1.50 per serving .

Sheet cakes:
(this includes simple decoration)

9x13" : $30

11x15" : $45

12x 18" : $55

Cupcakes:

*Cupcakes are between $1.00-1.25 per cupcake depending on decorations.
*mini cupcakes are $40/100

single cakes ( eg, the bottom tier for an artificial cake) are priced per cake, depending on size.

Single round cakes ( not stacked) covered in fondant with simple decorations:

6" double layer round $15.00
8" double layer round $25.00
9" double layer round $40.00
10"double layer round $45.00
12" double layer round$55.00
14" double layer round$70.00

*square cakes can sometimes be a bit more, because they take more batter and make more servings.

Because each cake is custom made and decorated, prices will vary. We can work together on a cake suited to your budget and style.
~ Rush cakes are available for a small fee.
~ Wedding cakes can be rented ( and customized with ribbon of your choice) and a sheet cake served to save on costs.

PLEASE NOTE:
I do not use a mix of any kind, unless requested to do so. It is not recommended to use a box mix when having a tiered cake, because it is very soft and unstable.

I use real butter, except in cases of allergies or sensitive recipes. Shortening may be recommended for weddings taking place in high heat.

Hi Kelly

The cake was AMAZING! He didn't want to
eat it even! I could not get over what
an amazing job you did, and can't thank
you enough. I wanted to tell you thank
you in person when I saw you come into
the hotel but I had to keep Darcy from
seeing you!We haven't had a chance to
get organized yet to send you any
pictures but as soon as we do I will
send some your way! Everyone absolutely
loved it and you really made the
graduation even more special. And, on a
side note, Darcy and I are engaged now!
He proposed to me in his Surge on Monday
night! I guess food really is the way to
a man's heart! Ha Ha!
Thanks again Kelly for doing truly and
unbelievable job and I kept telling
everyone that it was so fun to do it
because you were so lovely to deal
with and put such effort and love
into your work.

Dear Kelly,
Jarrod was ecstatic along with all his little friends! He was so excited at the thought of his very own cake, that won’t hurt his tummy! The picture doesn’t do the decorating justice. The black jube jubes for coal, Oreo wheels, animals and decorative icing sugar made this cake amazing. Oh, it tasted great too!
